The 19 posters at a glance
Dance, a graphic subject since the 1920s
The silhouettes of dancers, their movements and their costumes have always inspired poster artists. Each dance carries the style of a specific country and era, from Argentine tango to American swing.
Buenos Aires tango
The tango couple, locked in a crisp movement, borrows the graphic lines of 1930s Argentine Art Deco. A Buenos Aires poster often pairs this couple with the façade of a building in the capital.
In the same spirit
Seville flamenco
The flamenco dancer, in a ruffled dress with raised arms, is one of the most recognizable symbols of 1930s Andalusia. The Seville poster picks up its warm colors and curving lines.
Swing and rock’n’roll of the 1940s and 1950s
Swing dancers caught mid-lift on a ballroom stage in front of the orchestra evoke the atmosphere of 1940s America. This poster pairs well with retro American decor, far from the travel style of the other dance posters.
Rio samba and dances from around the world
The Rio samba, the Tahitian dancer from Polynesia and the Thai dancer round out this collection of dances from around the world, each with its own setting and colors.
Where to hang them
A dance poster fits in a living room, a hallway or a bedroom. Several different dance posters make a cohesive gallery wall built around movement and color.
The guinguette dance, a popular French scene
The Dance Till Dawn poster shows a guinguette dance, with its garlands of lanterns by the water and its accordionist: a festive, popular French scene from the 1920s to the 1940s, rather than a ballroom dance from elsewhere.
Breton dance, a regional heritage
The Brittany poster shows a round dance in black costumes and white headdresses on a village square, in front of the granite church: a French regional dance, unlike the tango, flamenco or world dances already described.
Burlesque cabaret, the elegance of the music hall
The Burlesque Night poster shows a cabaret dancer in a red corset and pink feathers, between 2 velvet curtains, with roses thrown onto the stage, in the glamorous, hushed atmosphere of the music hall of the 1920s to the 1950s: a more theatrical register than the regional dances or world dances already presented.

Frequently asked questions
You often ask us
Which dance poster should I choose for a living room?
Buenos Aires tango or Seville flamenco, with their crisp graphic lines, stand out well in a living room. Swing suits a more relaxed atmosphere better.
Can I combine several dance posters together?
Yes, tango, flamenco, swing and samba work well together in a gallery wall: each poster keeps its own identity while sharing the same subject, the dancer’s movement.
